    The Bass remains in the Wild West Midlands then...

    Anyone gonna pick this beastie up? It got an outing in sunny West Bromwich last night and is probably on the way to The Crown Inn, 23 Main St, Heather, Leicestershire, E67 2QP, next Saturday. PLEASE let me know if you are gonna pick it up there as I'm hoping to travel light next week and if no one throws their hat in the ring, it'll stay at home.

    C'mon people, this thing needs to get moving!

    Fender = boring and dull.

    That's rather yummy.

    Far too radical for Fender to seriously consider putting into production - after all, they've got a (conservative) reputation to keep..

    Bass Relay/Paul Rodgers Tribute West Brom 09 03 13

    in Gigs

    Posted

    Hi all

    Quick plug for my gig and your chance to grab the Bass baton...

    The Bass Baton will be at The New Talbot in West Bromwich on Saturday March 9th - my band are called Heartbreaker and we're a Paul Rodgers tribute, so if you like Classic Rawk, come on over. It would be lovely (and slightly intimidating for a Bassist...) to see a few of you there.

    Here's a lovely poster with some more details...

    Right then. Since 1986...
    Jangly Pop a la REM
    Chicago Blues
    Hair Metal
    Muso Pop (It Bites, that sort of thing)
    Pre Madchester baggy
    Indie
    Avant Garde (Can/Faust)
    Electronica
    Psychedelic Folk Rock
    Rock
    Acoustic Duo
    Heinz 57 covers/functions band
    Blues (again)
    Americana
    Pop Rock (a la Crowded House)
    Country Folk
    Classic Rock tribute

    It's good to have a broad palette.

    Erm....I'm pretty sure its Saturday the 9th, unless I'm very mistaken...which I am a lot of the time.

    If Yoricks real name is Nigel, then he's da man.I remember that their outgoing Bassist placed the ad on here, which I thought was rather sweet.

    Well here's my pre-decimal tuppenceworth:

    I went on Saturday and had a great time. From comments on previous events, I was expecting it to sound like an explosion in a spoon factory, but it wasn't bad at all. Far worse was the rumbling from the TC Electronics stand which made my fillings vibrate on a number of occasions. You need to bear in mind that I am a Music Teacher and routinely spend time in a class full of students all banging away on whatever they can get their hands on, so maybe I'm just desensitised.

    The masterclasses and shows were ace. I enjoyed Dave Ellefson's way more than I thought I would. The thought of him playing on a Sunday morning at his local church is an image which will sustain me for days. Jah Wobble was great even though his Bass sounded a bit farty every time he played an 'A'... Lee Rocker err, 'Rocked'. I missed Nate Watts due to lack of foresight on the transport front and had to get a train back to Brum. Please tell me he was terrible...

    I came away with The Baton - the hard case came in useful when I had to fight my way onto the 17.50 to Watford Junction. For a small fee or donation to BassChat, I will corroborate any stories along the lines of 'No Darling, THIS is that Bass which is going around the country and I haven't spent the children’s trust fund/mortgage/wedding and honeymoon savings on another Bass'. Yes, I am a prince.

    Well worth the trip and it was lovely to see BassChat in person (sort of).

    Quick update, just found out tonight I didn't get it. They haven't actually told me yet, but they've just announced the new member on Facebook. Nice. Anyone want to by a behringer rig & 2 sh*t basses?

    These are great little instruments, but they tale a lot of navigation due to the teeny-tiny neck. I love mine, but I think you'd be better off learning on a full scale instrument. You'll also save a fortune on talcum powder as if you don't liberally sprinkle that stuff on hands, your fingers will stick to the strings!

    SOLD SOLD SOLD

    As that Geddy Lee chap is trifficly popular round these parts, I thought I'd give you the first dibs on these-

    Two tix for everyones favourite Canadians on the Clockwork Angels Tour at LG Arena, The NEC on Sun May 26 2013 - 7:30 PM

    I've got two B Block tickets which I'm gonna let go at face value of £75 each + booking fee (£15) so thats £165 for the pair. They're E-Tickets, so they are easily email-able.

    Why am I not going...? Well, sadly they clash with Roger Hodgson (not literally, of course) and as I've seen Rush on many occasions (check my Avatar...) and this might be big Roge's last throw of the dice, with a heavy heart, I turn towards the former Supertramp supremo.

    This is the ideal night out for any Basschatter and as we all know, Rush are killerdiller live. Decent seats too - middle block of the front three blocks.

    Questions? Queries? fire away...
